Any UK members have personal experiences with Muslim no go zones?

I haven't been onto Manchester centre recently, did they have troops or was it London only?

Troops were mostly deployed to nuclear plants and other areas like that to free up armed cops for more public areas. There were some troops kicking
about in public but not many, some reports of special forces assisting with arrests in Manchester though

a reply to: OtherSideOfTheCoin some of the arrests were close to where I live. I can see the value of some backup when making
arrests of potential terrorists. One of our offices is opposite the station so they were all deployed at out offices for a few days. O

Iv'e lived in England all my life (31 years) and never seen any Muslim no go zones although there are no go zones in some northern cities though they
are not Muslim, more on the lines of scrawny white/black chav scroats and junkies in run down council estates, unless your unfortunate enough to live
there you have no business being there.

Anyone else find it really funny that the OP started this racist thread (let's call it what it is) and yet nobody has so far came out with anything
about a real no go zone.

What is he going to put in this new thread

I find it common behaviour among some on this site—it's also sad because many of these people are old enough to know better. Most Americans are cool
but, with a population of over 300 million, you will find *millions* who are just got damn racist, bigoted, ignorant, and just plain stupid.

I encourage the OP to travel. Most Americans live and die without ever seeing the world—USG data shows most do not even have a valid passport. They
don't travel and rely on the internet to form an impression of the world and this is why many have a distorted and twisted world-view.

I agree, I've been in bars in the M.E. with guys in full white robes watching the football, drinking beer and smoking cigars.
Once you see different cultures, you see that we are all just the same and there's nutters in all cultures also.

onestly the only difference I noticed was armed cops at every train station

Ahh, armed cops. So the UK became America for a few days. I can't understand the reluctance of arming the police to do their job out there.
Makes no sense to me.

The police are hired to confront threats to the commencement of commerce and general public order. How can they do that effectively when confronting
armed assailants and having to wait for armed backup while their untimely demise is mere seconds away??

All police should be armed at all times everywhere they go. Some may call that a police state, I call it an orderly one.

I know you have armed police, but they have to be called in. ALL of your police need to be armed though, not just the specialized ones that are called
in for hostage situations or when a terrorist strikes. The guys patrolling the streets or responding to domestic calls should always have the quickest
and most efficient way of defending themselves, out of respect man.

It is just outright silly and disrespectful when half a dozen unarmed cops have to counter a blade wielding maniac with a dumpster.

I was in Manchester on Sunday for the Great Manchester run and didn't see any armed police and no soldiers at all.

You mentioned Rusholme? It's certainly got a solid Muslim population. Madrassas on every other street and the shops are all catering to Asian tastes.
I wouldn't describe it as a no go zone though.

Further afield, I'm in Bolton, Bury and Blackburn quite often and, same again, large Muslim populated areas and haven't seen a no go zone.

Young lads are the greatest risk to normal folk. They might be white, brown or black, but those are the ones to be cautious about. Poor areas anywhere
in the world. It's always the young lads who carry the weapons and know how to ruin your day for no good reason. Where I live, it'll be white youths.
Friends live in Oxford (Blackbird Leys) and their risk would be black and mixed youths. Up in Glasgow? White youths. Mates in Manchester? Mixed
groups. Toxteth is mainly black youths whereas Croxteth is white youths.

A young scot's teenage boy was abducted by several Scot's Pakistani's as he was dating a teenage ethnic Pakistani girl up in Glasgow, he was knifed
and dumped out of the car, so called honor killing related incident as they did not want him dating there girl.

Utter garbage.. Kris was not murdered because he was dating a Ethnic pakistani girl. Nothing could be further from the truth.
The killers went hunting for some guys who attacked them in a nightclub the previous evening. Unfortunately for Kris he was in the wrong place at
the wrong time.

It's a culture thing. We don't have the death penalty and we don't have an armed police force. It's a serious event when an officer is allowed to
discharge their firearm and that's the way we like it.

It works for us like your culture works for you.

In the attack on the British parliament a couple months ago, where a Muslim terrorist mowed down tourists with his car, there was a police officer
stabbed to death on parliament grounds. Was the idea of an armed police force debated after that attack?
